**Haz Al-Din**[b] ([Arabic](/source/Arabic_language): حظ الدين, [romanized](/source/Romanization_of_Arabic): *Ḥaẓ āl-Dīn*; born 1996)[2] is a pseudonymous[c] American political commentator and activist who has served as the inaugural chairman of the [American Communist Party](/source/American_Communist_Party_(2024)) (ACP) since 2024.[5] He is active as a [livestreamer](/source/Livestreamer) on [YouTube](/source/YouTube), [Twitch](/source/Twitch_(service)), and [Kick](/source/Kick_(service)) under the **Infrared** brand, which he uses for political discussion and debates.

Al-Din espouses [left-conservative](/source/Left-conservatism), [left-populist](/source/Left-wing_populism), [illiberal](/source/Illiberalism), and [Russophilic](/source/Russophilic) views, and is a supporter of [Marxism–Leninism](/source/Marxism%E2%80%93Leninism) with particular admiration for the [Soviet Union](/source/Soviet_Union) and [China](/source/China). He is critical of positions across the political spectrum, particularly [liberalism](/source/Liberalism). Al-Din is known for his harsh, confrontational, and often provocative public image, with Infrared growing in notoriety through debates, aggressive rants about his political views, and clashes with both audience members and fellow political influencers.[5] Some of the views espoused by Al-Din on Infrared have been labeled as [reactionary](/source/Reactionary), [anti-LGBTQ](/source/Anti-LGBT), [anti-feminist](/source/Antifeminism), and [anti-environmentalist](/source/Anti-environmentalism), labels which Al-Din denies.[5][6]

Al-Din and fellow political commentator [Jackson Hinkle](/source/Jackson_Hinkle) are closely associated with [MAGA Communism](/source/MAGA_Communism), which Al-Din describes as a strategy which attempts to consolidate the [MAGA](/source/Make_America_Great_Again) base away from "[false consciousness](/source/False_consciousness)" and towards [communism](/source/Communism).[7] The strategy has attracted controversy, with critics labeling it an opportunistic rebranding of communism to appeal to disaffected [conservatives](/source/Conservatism). American author [Alexander Reid Ross](/source/Alexander_Reid_Ross) has described MAGA Communism as a [fringe movement](/source/Fringe_movement) that attempts to blend conservative-populist rhetoric with [socialist](/source/Socialism) terminology.[7] In 2024, Al-Din and Hinkle founded the ACP.[8] The ACP espouses [socially conservative](/source/Social_conservatism_in_the_United_States) views.[8]

## Early and personal life

Haz Al-Din was born in 1996 in [Dearborn, Michigan](/source/Dearborn%2C_Michigan), to [Lebanese](/source/Lebanon) [Shia](/source/Shia)[9] immigrants who had fled the [Lebanese Civil War](/source/Lebanese_Civil_War) in the 1970s and settled in an [Arab](/source/Arab)-majority part of the state.[7] He became interested in [socialism](/source/Socialism) at the age of 12 or 13, initially drawn to the [Soviet Union](/source/Soviet_Union)'s achievements, which he found to be far more sophisticated than what was commonly taught in Western education.[10] Al-Din began pursuing a [juris doctor](/source/Juris_doctor) degree but took a permanent leave of absence from [law school](/source/Law_school) after completing his first year to begin [livestreaming](/source/Livestreaming) full-time.[9]

Al-Din is a [Muslim](/source/Islam); he currently resides in the [Detroit metropolitan area](/source/Metro_Detroit) in [Michigan](/source/Michigan).

### Infrared and online presence

Al-Din attended [Michigan State University](/source/Michigan_State_University), where he engaged with [left-wing politics](/source/Left-wing_politics), at one point, joining the [Democratic Socialists of America](/source/Democratic_Socialists_of_America), before becoming involved in [Marxist theory](/source/Marxist_theory).[11] Initially influenced by [Western Marxism](/source/Western_Marxism) and [Bordigism](/source/Bordigism),[11][12] he later embraced [Marxism–Leninism](/source/Marxism%E2%80%93Leninism) and developed an interest in [Chinese political philosophy](/source/Chinese_Marxist_philosophy), particularly [Xi Jinping Thought](/source/Xi_Jinping_Thought).[11]

In 2020, Al-Din launched Infrared, a [YouTube](/source/YouTube) channel and [Twitch](/source/Twitch_(service)) (later [Kick](/source/Kick_(service))) stream focusing on political analysis, [geopolitical](/source/Geopolitics) debates, and criticism of existing [leftist](/source/Leftism) and communist movements from a claimed [populist](/source/Populism) Marxist–Leninist perspective.[5] Infrared gained wider attention with the emergence of "[MAGA Communism](/source/MAGA_Communism)", a term first used in 2022 by Al-Din and fellow influencer and political commentator [Jackson Hinkle](/source/Jackson_Hinkle).[13]

### American Communist Party

Main article: [American Communist Party (2024)](/source/American_Communist_Party_(2024))

In July 2024, Al-Din, [Jackson Hinkle](/source/Jackson_Hinkle), Christopher Helali, and others founded the American Communist Party (ACP) following a split in the [Communist Party USA](/source/Communist_Party_USA) (CPUSA), in which they accused CPUSA of [revisionism](/source/Revisionism_(Marxism)) for its endorsement of the [Democratic Party](/source/Democratic_Party_(United_States)) in the [2024 election](/source/2024_United_States_presidential_election).[8]

On February 23, 2025, Al-Din, Hinkle, and Helali attended the [funeral](/source/Funeral_of_Hassan_Nasrallah) of [Hassan Nasrallah](/source/Hassan_Nasrallah), the third [Secretary-General](/source/Secretary-General_of_Hezbollah) of [Hezbollah](/source/Hezbollah), as representatives of the ACP.[14][15]

## Political positions and ideology

Al-Din is a self-described supporter of [left-wing politics](/source/Left-wing_politics), critic of [right-wing politics](/source/Right-wing_politics), and a staunch advocate for the [Marxist–Leninist](/source/Marxism%E2%80%93Leninism) stances promoted by the [American Communist Party](/source/American_Communist_Party_(2024)). Al-Din has said that despite significant disagreements, he has incorporated the "rational kernel" from the philosophies of Russian political theorist [Aleksandr Dugin](/source/Aleksandr_Dugin) and German existentialist philosopher [Martin Heidegger](/source/Martin_Heidegger), arguing that their critiques of [liberal](/source/Liberalism) [modernity](/source/Modernity) provide essential insights for constructing a [post-liberal](/source/Postliberalism) socialist order.[16] He holds [left-populist](/source/Left-wing_populism), [left-conservative](/source/Left-conservatism), and [illiberal](/source/Illiberal) positions.[11] While Al-Din has expressed sympathy toward the presidential campaigns of [Bernie Sanders](/source/Bernie_Sanders),[7] he asserts that the modern Western left has failed to garner the support of the [working-class in the United States](/source/American_working_class) by focusing on [identity politics](/source/Identity_politics) and abandoning [class struggle](/source/Class_conflict).[11]

He advocates for a [socialism in one country](/source/Socialism_in_one_country), adopting the view originally espoused by [Joseph Stalin](/source/Joseph_Stalin) that class struggle and Marxism–Leninism must be understood as national in form and internationalist in content. Mirroring Stalin's own views in *[Foundations of Leninism](/source/Foundations_of_Leninism)*, he claims that true international solidarity is "based on a solidarity between [sovereign] nations", and that national sovereignty is fundamental to developing socialist movements in individual countries.[13]

Al-Din frequently praises the [Soviet Union](/source/Soviet_Union), describing it as an ideal civilization that sought technological and economic modernization while maintaining a deep respect for its historical memory and culture.[10]

Al-Din supports [Russia](/source/Russia), [China](/source/China), and [North Korea](/source/North_Korea), which he describes as resistant to [Western imperialism](/source/Western_imperialism).[7][11] In an interview with *[The Guardian](/source/The_Guardian)*, he expressed "profound admiration" for [Kim Jong-un](/source/Kim_Jong-un), citing North Korea's "resilience" against [Western hegemony](/source/Western_hegemony).[7] He has called for the complete dissolution of [NATO](/source/NATO), arguing that the alliance serves as an instrument of Western imperialism.[17] He has supported the [Russian invasion of Ukraine](/source/Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine), framing it as a necessary challenge to Western hegemony, and has advocated for closer [China–United States relations](/source/China%E2%80%93United_States_relations).[18]

Al-Din is an [anti-Israel activist](/source/Opposition_to_Israel) and espouses [anti-Zionist](/source/Anti-Zionist) views. According to Kathleen Hayes of the *[Jewish Journal](/source/The_Jewish_Journal_of_Greater_Los_Angeles)*, Al-Din's political movement is sympathetic to "Middle Eastern [jihadism](/source/Jihadism)" and has attempted to forge a [red–green alliance](/source/Red%E2%80%93green%E2%80%93brown_alliance) with [Islamists](/source/Islamist).[14] He has expressed support for the [Axis of Resistance](/source/Axis_of_Resistance), including [Iran](/source/Iran), [Hezbollah](/source/Hezbollah), and other groups opposed to [Israeli](/source/Israel) influence in the [Middle East](/source/Middle_East), stating that they serve as an inspiration to anti-imperialist movements worldwide.[17]

Al-Din is closely associated with [MAGA Communism](/source/MAGA_Communism), which is often viewed as a [syncretic political movement and ideology](/source/Syncretic_politics) seeking to combine [Marxism](/source/Marxism) with [right-wing populism](/source/Right-wing_populism). Al-Din rejects attempts to label MAGA Communism as a political movement or ideology,[19] but rather describes it as a provocative political slogan and as a populist strategy which attempts to consolidate working-class members of [Donald Trump](/source/Donald_Trump)'s [MAGA movement](/source/MAGA_movement) away from [false consciousness](/source/False_consciousness) and towards [communism](/source/Communism).[7][19] Critics of MAGA Communism have labeled it an opportunistic rebranding of [socialist](/source/Socialism) ideas to appeal to disaffected [conservatives](/source/Conservatism) and [right-wing extremists](/source/Right-wing_extremists), with it being described in *The Guardian* as a "deranged fringe movement" and by *[Jungle World](/source/Jungle_World)* as "Not left, not right, but [fascist](/source/Fascism)".[3][7]

## Controversies

Al-Din has been criticized for allegedly [co-opting](/source/Co-option) [socialist](/source/Socialism) rhetoric to advance a [reactionary](/source/Reactionary) agenda.[7][5] His [MAGA Communism](/source/MAGA_Communism) strategy has been described by critics as an [extremist](/source/Extremism) movement,[7] with [pro-Israel](/source/Pro-Israel) [think tank](/source/Think_tank) [MEMRI](/source/Middle_East_Media_Research_Institute) describing the strategy as a form of [red–green](/source/Red%E2%80%93green%E2%80%93brown_alliance) [Islamism](/source/Islamism) and part of the broader [global anti-Zionist](/source/Globalize_the_intifada) and "[White Jihad](/source/White_jihad)" movements.[20]

Observers from [Vice News](/source/Vice_News) and *[Compact Magazine](/source/Compact_(American_magazine))* have argued that MAGA Communism lacks ideological consistency, and is more of a cultural provocation than a coherent political movement.[5] [Yale](/source/Yale_University) professor Daniel HoSang has described it as an opportunistic ideology that shifts working-class discontent into a reactionary framework.[5] The PERIL Lab at [American University](/source/American_University) has suggested that it appeals to politically disillusioned groups and is exploited by online extremist networks.[5]

In 2022, Al-Din was banned from [Twitch](/source/Twitch_(service)) after researchers flagged his channel, InfraredShow, for spreading [pro-Russia](/source/Pro-Russia) and [anti-Ukraine](/source/Anti-Ukrainian_sentiment) narratives about the [Russian invasion of Ukraine](/source/Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine), with his livestreaming activities migrating to [Kick](/source/Kick_(service)).[18] A Tech Transparency Project investigation identified his Twitch channel as one of multiple platforms amplifying Russian state-aligned [misinformation](/source/Misinformation), including claims about the [de-Nazification](/source/De-Nazification) of [Ukraine](/source/Ukraine) and false allegations of Western-backed [biolabs in Ukraine](/source/Ukraine_biolabs).[21] The *[Financial Times](/source/Financial_Times)* also reported on his content moderation disputes, highlighting his involvement in spreading narratives aligned with Russian foreign policy and his subsequent removal from multiple platforms.[18][21][7] Al-Din was unbanned from Twitch in April 2025.[2]

In April 2024, Al-Din co-hosted the *Free America to Free Palestine* event in [Dearborn, Michigan](/source/Dearborn%2C_Michigan), alongside [Jackson Hinkle](/source/Jackson_Hinkle), discussing strategies for influencing U.S. foreign policy and achieving [Palestinian liberation](/source/Palestinian_liberation). The event, which attracted controversy due to its [anti-Zionist](/source/Anti-Zionism) rhetoric and alignment with MAGA Communism, was covered by *[Newsweek](/source/Newsweek)* for its unorthodox political messaging.[22] [CNN](/source/CNN) said pro-Russia and anti-Israel rhetoric were key themes of the event.[23]
